Funny the article doesn't mention Crean as one of the highest paid  :P

Quote

A contract valued at $2.5 million annually would make Calipari one of the highest-paid coaches in the country, in the same stratosphere as Louisville's Rick Pitino ($2.25-$2.5 million), Kentucky's Billy Gillispie ($2.3million) and Kansas' Bill Self, who is currently negotiating a new deal after beating Memphis for the national title.

Though Duke's Mike Krzyzewski reportedly is paid $1.3 million and North Carolina's Roy Williams is paid $1.4 million, they both reportedly pull in more than that through shoe contracts. Florida's Billy Donovan is the nation's highest-paid coach at $3.5 million per year.

gee, that's about $500,000 for each of the players he's graduated in the last 15 years. Total creep.
